Lol. What a battle that would be. I doubt Bruce would ever come here. But also he has more coaching ability in his left eyebrow than Phil will ever have.

Shocking what a good coach can do. Bruce Arena has SJE hummin. Maybe take note @timbers.com

We barely beat a 3rd string keeper, and a heavily rotated squad at home. Last week wasn't the accomplishment people want to think it was.

It looked like Bonetig was shielding Pants' view on the first goal.

According to the announcers, the Timbers haven't won on the road since July of 25. That's a stunning statistic.

I feel bad for Pants because he played a decent game.

I’m just laughing now.

Timbers took a 5 on 3 break, slowed it down to let the defenders catch up, then dribbled it over the end line.

And I bet there’s at least one player who makes more than the entire payroll of the Thorns.

Merritt: sell the team now. For everyone’s sake. JFC.

God damnit..good. not food.

Chat, how do I coach food soccer?

That was malpractice. What the fuck were Bonetig, Bye and Fory doing?

Excellent save from Pants. Great strength and direction

Weighted***

Velde with a gorgeous dribble,.a perfectly waited pass, and then Antony does whatever the fuck that was.

Antony is such a waste of space.

There are 4 or 5 guys on this squad who have the quality. Everyone else not so much.

Boy idk. Caicedo was doing a lot of work to cover for everyone else there. Maybe his pass could've had a bit more on it but DDC wasn't helping him.

I'm not convinced Bonnetig is a good player.

There is talent in this squad, but we don't have a competent manager to make that talent work together.

Happy to get 3 points. Happy for KK to get a goal. Smiling because Velde is brilliant, and Caicedo is a great addition. But also pragmatic. We barely beat a heavily rotated LAFC at home with their 3rd string keeper. We have talent. We don't have cohesion. That is entirely on Phil Neville.

Incredible ball from Velde to set the whole thing up

Awful yellow card to Velde there

I'm okay with it. That was a legit shove

2 inches higher and I'd say so

Absolutely nothing Pants could do there.

Right? It's such a weird pattern lol

The runs Velde is making are so good. Someone needs to find him

This is true, but don't support the org with merch.

Send Fory to T2 man.

Bassett puts that on a fucking platter for DDC and NOTHING. Your DP has to be ruthless.

It's amazing to me that Phil looks at those matches and says the referee is to blame.

Take ownership you coward. Your team was outplayed.
